Goodbye, Stadia. Photo: Florence Ion / Gizmodo Now is an appropriate time to but out your trumpet for the long-awaited demise of Google’s cloud-gaming service, Stadia. The shuttered service’s website makes it clear: Stadia officially shut down on Jan. 18, 2023. Granted, we all knew it was coming. It’s been about three months since we learned Google was planning to shut things down. Stadia didn’t perform relative to other cloud gaming services, nor did it have the backing of its parent… Source link

Google made a few mistakes with its Stadia cloud gaming service. Maybe more than a few. Okay, it made a lot of promises it didn’t keep and said a lot of things that look pretty laughable in hindsight and totally pulled the rug out from under its indie developers. We did our best to warn you! And yet, I don’t think Stadia will be remembered poorly now it’s gone — because in the end, Google did right by its customers. Pay attention, rival companies: this is how you shut down a service… Source link

The Google Stadia controller is still going to be useable now that the cloud gaming service is dead. Getty Images Google screwed up. It made so many mistakes with Stadia that stopped the platform from ever reaching its full potential. Now, like so many other Google projects, Stadia is dead. That’s a real shame, because it was a great cloud gaming service that was ahead of its time. I mean that in the most literal way, because Google rushed Stadia to market before it was truly ready for… Source link

Google Stadia shut down for good on Jan. 18, but that doesn’t mean the wireless Stadia controller — which came in Stadia’s premium bundles at its 2019 launch — is now useless. Of course it can still be used as a wired USB gamepad, but there’s also a process by which it can be switched to a Bluetooth controller that works with PCs and mobile devices. There are a few catches: The first is this process must be done by Dec. 31. The second is that it’s a fairly involved process,… Source link

Enlarge / Like it never even happened. Aurich Lawson / Getty Images Google Stadia is scheduled for execution this week. The service dies on January 18, and while there will be tons of spurned developers and hours of lost game progress in its wake, the shutdown of Stadia is going about as smoothly as it can go. After refunding every game purchase made on the service, Google is now responding to calls to open up… Source link

Google decided to give Stadia users one final game to play before the streaming service shuts down later this week. In a tweet(Opens in a new window) on the official Stadia Twitter account, Google announced it had released one last game as “a humble thanks from our team.” It’s called “Worm Game(Opens in a new window),” and it’s the title Google used to test many of Stadia’s feature before the service launched back in November 2019. Developed internally, the Stadia team admits Worm Game… Source link

Don’t squirm for the worm We’re mere days away from Google shutting down Stadia. The company announced it would kill off the cloud gaming platform last year in a move absolutely no one saw coming, but the axe wouldn’t fall right away. It’s been a tortured path towards January 18th, but believe it or not, games have still been coming out for Stadia. Now, Google has released what will double as the service’s very last title as well as a loving goodbye note to all… Source link

Google Stadia is officially shutting down on January 18, and the team behind the video game streaming service has gifted the world Worm Game, the final title that will be released for the platform and one that was used to test many of Stadia’s features before it launched. Worm Game can be played now by anyone with a Google Chrome browser, and it is very much inspired by the classic game Snake. It’s not the most advanced game graphically, but it does have multiple levels, the ability to change… Source link
